BARBARA BUI

Since its previous winter collection I have grown some real affection towards Barbara Bui. A cutting-edge yet truly feminine brand that can turn any young rebellious hipster into a classy modern lady.

And here I was, during Paris Fashion Week, with the great honor of having an invitation for her Autumn/Winter 2013 show. A mostly black collection, with the exception of just a few white and gold pieces, walked the runway. Cropped shield tops, lace, statement coats, suits, reptile textiles and a lot of nudity shaped the show. All powerful and fierce looks, with a great interesting selection of materials and textures made this show (a loud !) applause worthy. Though the crop shield tops were the showstoppers in my personal opinion, I will never be caught dead wearing. A typical example of "for size zero only' dressing, which might be the downside of this collection, however the impossible and the beloved give the inspiration. Size zero or not, Barbara Bui got me closer to my inner lady ;-) ... and wishing for some statement coats...!
